This female-fronted rock band has been around on the indie circuit for almost 10 years. The singer Chibi really reminds me of Fairuza Balk (the actress) in looks and expressions, and she has a great little-girl voice that can also get dark and growly. The band sort of travels …

The rock band U2’s album, The Joshua Tree, is a spectacular moment in music. The Joshua Tree has songs that reach our heart, yet they are not preachy or boring. Bono, the lead singer of U2, wears his heart on his sleeve for this particular album. The Joshua Tree …

Besides composing,arranging and even singing in his music. Frank Zappa was also a very good improviser when it came to jamming on the guitar. He may have not been the fastest and technical, which is why he hired Steve Vai for some fast parts he couldn’t play, but His …

Black Curtains is a song by Megadeth which appears on their album Youthanasia. The track starts off with an extremely generic rhythm from Mustaine whcih makes me dearly hope that something better will soon follow this intro. The verse soon kicks in and this section is slightly better although …

Mariah Carey really has a very sweet voice. I love her voice so much; she sings love songs very well and has wonderful voice interpretation of R&B songs too. She is the very first girl we have known to have collaboration with “hip hop” singers, and this is the …

“Thinking of You” is a music video by Katy Perry that, to me, signifies most of all that she has grown up as an artist. She has come a long way from her bubble gum pop roots of “I Kissed a Girl” and “Ur So Gay”. Thinking of You …

Jordin SParks is one of the more recent popular singers who I find myself actually liking, which is strange since I don’t usually like much of modern popular music. I think there might be several reasons for this too as I think that she is one of the few …

This was Ghost Peeps first album - one maybe two people heard. Oh and myself. The production quality is not as good as it could be but that only adds to some of the charm. This 8 song set only last 19 minutes and in that time we hear …

Politically Uncorrect by Gretchen Wilson and Merle Haggard is a song about how what we stand for is not what majority of the country stands for now days. All anybody cares about is money and not the people who work hard and serve our country. That is true now …

I’ve been playing drums for more than one year now. Over that time, I’ve tried several brands and styles of sticks. I’ve discovered that, when a company slaps “Good Wood” on its sticks, I should run the other way and save myself thirteen bucks. This company, which is based …

Subliminal-just when you thought it was over
Subliminal’s new/ not so new album is something that was destined to get mixed reviews. On one hand, he continues his legacy of excellence and presents us with well crafted and executed songs. On the other hand, it is clear that …

I was sitting in a cafeteria when I first heard this song. From the voice of the singer I can actually tell that it is from Rihanna. One thing that I really like with this song is how Rihanna belt it. From what I heard from her, I can …

Then, there was a radio station which played ‘Over You’. Upon hearing that music, I admired Chris Daughtry’s music all the more.
The way Chris Daughtry interprets the …

Lately, I haven’t really liked Usher Raymond. I liked him when he first came out in like 2000-2004, around that time. He sang songs taht were genuine and you could really tell that he could sing. Now, everything has changed. He got married, had a kid, got a divorce, …
